Show JULY 20,2006 by Earl Roe wearlroe@yahoo.com • 676-2376 And the rain stopped-hopefully unil he fanners can get their hay taken care of, then let it come! We can still use the moisture in Southern Utah. For a while I thought Panguitch was going big-time.When I saw them (highway deptartment)setting the large steel pillars at the corners of the Main & Center Street intersection, I was sure that we were going to have a red-amber-green semaphore hanging over the middle of the intersection, but instead we got a much better traffic control system for our needs with the flashing red lights extended out to the middle of the aproach lanes from all four directions. Our free 'Movie in the Park' attendance is rapidly growing. Over 150 movie goers enjoyed last Friday night's movie. The Lions appreciate the community support and especially at the concession stand which helps pay for the movies. I suspect that our warmer nights account for a part of the increased attendance, but Lion Pamela Norton who selects the movies does make every effort to get those that are good, wholesome family movies. The line-up for August will be in the next edition of the "Insider". July has always been the time for family and class reunions and this year seems to be living up to this tradition. I have heard rumors of several class reunions, but I only know of two for certain. I make it a point to 'crash' them all to get a little news to pass on to our readers.(Food has nothing to do with this!) Bill & Sara Kay had a week long family reunion when brothers & sisters and their spouses, neices and nephews, cousins, children & grandchildren traveled from widely scattered places to gather at the Kay home North of Panguitch a couple of weeks ago. Robert Middleton and family (Ithaca, Michigan); Bill & Millie Middleton (Riverdale, Michigan); Ronald & Leola Kauffman (Bella V ista, Arkansas); George & Carolyn Kay (Lockbuie, Colorado); Zack & Alisha Decker (Alaska); From Utah: Dale & Debbie Kay (Washington); Dene & Debbie Kay (Hurricane); Don & Jessica Blair (St. George); Dale & Candi Neilson (Price); Seth & Erin Decker (Cedar City); Kayla Riggs (Cedar City); Dorothy Brichin (Salt Lake); from Panguitch, Debbie Kay; Joe & Lorna Decker; John & Tina Riggs; & V ictoria Riggs. They spent the week touring Cedar Breaks, Brian Head (where they rode the ski lift), Bryce tanyon,Ru6y's Page 4 THE GARFIELD COUNTY INSIDER Inn, a day at Zion Natl. Park and a dinner at the Golden Corral in St. George. In spite of all these activities, they managed to attend our Lions Club Breakfast (Our club considers this a must for any visitor who is in our area at the time.) and participate in the other activities of the day. It was a wonderful reunion and they all enjoyed their tours in our scenic Southern Utah. As I stated some time ago, I always check my E-mail before I start the Knothole hoping for some news to share with our readers. Tonight I hit the jackpot with two (2) Panguitch ConnectionsfromMax Excell (Hilma's son). Max and his wife are serving a mission in Columbus , Ohio and in church last Sunday a member introduced himself as Nate Houston. Max said when he pronounced his last name like we do in Panguitch, he asked him where he was from and learned that he was John & Diane Houston's son and Dorothy Houston's grand son. Max said Nate was enough younger than he that he did not remember him to well but he certainly enjoyed talking with him about the older folks he remembered so well. Dorothy was Max's 3rd Grade teacher and one of his favorite teachers. The other connection occured when a man stopped in at the Mission Office where Max and his wife work and introduced himself as "Brother Hatch". Max told him that he grew up with a lot of Hatch's in Utah and when asked where, Max told him Panguitch and immediately discovered that he was talking with Rulon Hatch, son ofHout arid Mae Hatch and whose family home was the house just across the street South from the Social Hall. (Now the Kenneth & Emma Ahlstrom home). The both graduated fron PHS just one year apart (Max-Class of 1957; Rulon-Classof 1958) Max said thay had a lot of laughs trying to find some features in each other that reminded them of the way they used to look 'back when'. (The following is a direct quote from Max's E-mail letter.) "Isn't it great to be from such a great place and meet people from Panguitch every where on God's Great Earth. Isn't it wonderful?" (I agree with Max.) Brother & Sister Excell are really enjoying their mission and meeting a lot of wonderful people. They really enjoy getting the "Insider" which Hilma sends to them and they look forward to it's arrival each week.) (A personal note on the connection with Rulon.) Rulon's oldest brother, George, was in our Class of 1940 and our classroom while in the 8th Grade was the balcony in the Social. During our lunch break we would gather on George's lawn and play 'mumble peg'.(Mention of this game should jog some memories in our older readers.)

Last year the event was cancelled due to the flooding in the V illage meadow from a winter that boasted record snowfall. However, this year, the meadow is ready for our event! Duck Creek Days is an arts and crafts show and a chili cook-off. It is held every summer in the month of July. This year the dates are July 21 st and 22nd. Duck Creek V illage is 28 miles east of Cedar City, Utah on Highway 14. For those of you who haven't visited Duck Creek, it is a beautiful mountain setting nestled in a meadow complete with a meandering stream, 80-foot tall ponderosa pines, and glistening aspen trees. During this July weekend, this peaceful setting is transformed into a tent-filled city housing artisans, crafters and chili-cookers from throughout the southwestern United States. The event begins at noon on Friday the 21st and ends Saturday night at 10:00 pm. There is live entertainment daily performed by dance groups and musicians offering a country theme. The evenings are filled with'.music and dancing with performances by Muddy Boots Band on Friday evening and Ivory Johnson Band on Saturday evening. In addition to sampling the wonderful chili cook-off event, you can look forward to enjoying some wonderful Duck Creek Days Cuisine. Food vendors will provide Mexican food, barbeque, Navajo Tacos, Ice Cream, snow cones, steak sandwiches and much more!! Duck Creek Days has something for kids of all ages. There will be kids' crafts, games, bounce houses, climbing walls & a giant slide. A crowd favorite is always'the Duck Races. Y ou can sponsor a floating rubber duck for a buck and cheer you duck on as it floats the creek to the other side of the meadow to victory and prizes. Perhaps the most popular event during Duck Creek Days is the giant raffle featuring over 100 prizes to be given away. This raffle features a grand prize of a POLARIS SPORTSMAN 500 ATV . Prizes are provided by area businesses. Raffle tickets can be purchased for $1.00 and are available in most of the V illage stores and at the event Main Tent on Friday and Saturday.
